Well, you'd still buy it again any day and Apple knows it.$13 million for the lawyers‽ And I get $200 for a keyboard replacement that's guaranteed to fail again, rendering the machine almost useless? That's a pretty terrible settlement.

Lawyers love class action lawsuitsWhat I cannot understand is WHY the law firm gets 1/6 of the class action lawsuit when people like me will probably only get $20!
Maximum payout, key word is maximum there.If I'm reading it right, I might get $395 since I had two keyboard replacements. Fortunately, I still own those so providing records should be straightforward.
To be fair, that's likely closer to the number people will end up getting.I guess it's better than $1.09.
You weren't promised 150, it was the max payout I am sure. It is lowered substantially by the more people that put a claim in. That's how these always work.I remember this huge lawsuit a while back that I received a letter in the mail for. Was promised $150 but got a letter a year later saying that my cut went to the attorneys that worked on the case, lmao.
Yea I actually put in a claim early on in the lawsuit but the fact that I got zero out of it was hilarious. The case was against a large chain gym that continued charging its customers for 4 months during COVID when they were forced to be closed.You weren't promised 150, it was the max payout I am sure.

Right. But in my experience, that amount usually corresponds with what you get. The lawyers get their cut from another bucket, and if Apple is agreeing to this, they fundamentally can't decide you get $1.63 out of that maximum amount "just because".Maximum payout, key word is maximum there.
There is a finite amount of money. The more people that put in claims, the less remains for each person.Right. But in my experience, that amount usually corresponds with what you get.

I understand that, but that 'claim-taker-percentage' is already factored in. So Apple probably already knows that ~200K people are expected to file a claim based on how many they replaced, and the response rate of similar class action awards. 200K people x $125 = $25M.There is a finite amount of money. The more people that put in claims, the less remains for each person.
But probably based on a directive from the bald man himself to shave several millimeters off the switch/key assembly so it could be "thin enough". The immediate hit was to usability and tactile experience. These things were like banging your fingers on a solid piece of plastic. Before long, the delicate little switches started breaking under the strain of motes of dust or whatever. Clearly Ive intended them to be used by cyborgs living in a clean room environment, not the real world.Ive didn't design the keyboard. Mechanical/electrical engineers did.
Exactly my experience. I pounced on that little 12" Retina MacBook as a replacement for my 11" Air. I gave myself a full month to "get used to it" but I never did because it was horrible. So then it was back to the Air and then a used 2015 MacBook Pro I got off eBay. I guess I should thank Ive for the money he saved me by making me boycott new Mac laptops for several years.The only time I’ve ever flat out refused to use an a newer model of an Apple Laptop. After trying it and finding it to be the worst typing experience of my life I stayed with my 2015 until they came out with the redesigned keyboard. It has to be the absolute worst design Apple has ever had.
The bad thing is, they knew it, and released it anyway.

To be fair, the previous keyboards were also the Johnny Ive keyboard.I call it the Jony Ive keyboard.
Yes but this is the one that he deserves to have his name attached to. A moment to his folly.To be fair, the previous keyboards were also the Johnny Ive keyboard.
